DSRC Seminar | Great Potentials of Microelectronics in Biomedical Applications

Abstract:

Microelectronics has profoundly transformed the way we live, work, communicate and play, especially with the advent of microprocessors, high-density storage media, sensors and actuators, lithium batteries, Internet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. In this talk, I shall first retrace my journey of the metamorphosis of a statistical geneticist-turned-biomedical researcher, and then provide real examples of research projects that can be and have been enhanced by the use of microelectronics. I shall also expose some research areas that are badly in need of microelectronic engineering. These applications would also transform biomedical research, and may hold great promises in providing better therapeutics and diagnostics, improving lives for people all over the world.

Bio:
Dr. Sun-Wei Guo, a Distinguished Professor from Fudan University. He graduated from the Department of Public Health, Shanghai Medical University (now the School of Public Health, Shanghai Medical College, Fudan University) with a Master of Medicine degree in 1985. He received his Master of Science degree and a Doctor of Philosophy degree at the School of Public Health, University of Washington (Seattle) in 1991. After graduation, he worked as an assistant researcher and later as an associate researcher at the School of Public Health, University of Michigan (Ann Arbor), USA. From 1997 to 1999, he was an associate professor in the Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, Minnesota State University, USA. From 1999 to 2007, he served as a tenured professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the Medical College of Wisconsin, and a part-time professor of biostatistics. He returned to China in June 2007 and be appointed as the director and a distinguished professor of the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.

Since June 2010, he has been appointed as a distinguished professor at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University. He serves as a professor and a doctoral supervisor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Shanghai Medical College. He is the executive associate director of Shanghai Key Laboratory of Female Reproductive Endocrine-Related Diseases.
